The kind of explosion that occurred married to the fact that the jet (with 2/3 fuel load) did actually land safely. It speaks about a good design and great redundancy. <br />If a similar event occurred on a large twin - I suspect that the outcome could have been very different.

ATSB certainly have not learnt from the PelAir debacle, yet the current report on Hemple and the coroner report on the YAK 52 makes an interesting comparison, with the ATSB now saying it will investigate all fatalities on VH regictered aircraqft in Australia. Seems to be a response to the 170 - odd page senate report!!<br /><br />QF 32: http://vocasupport.com/?page_id=1661<br /><br />Hemple: http://vocasupport.com/?page_id=173<br /><br />PelAir: http://vocasupport.com/?page_id=83Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
